was his name; evidently of Irish extraction.
Well this fellow made speech to his district
assembly, and called upon his knightly COM

| BY telling them to strike for their native land.
Ihey merely wanted the earth, you know;

Bou,apger and the sneak Thief.
From the PhiladsLDAia Inquirer.

FTHVt tue 4 NHdUStDtt0 LU0utySFs
The interest attaching tn the recent actions
of the French Minister of War NJ. Boulanger,
recalls an experience that official had with a
thief while sojourning in this city during the
Yorktown celebration in 1881. NJ. Boulanger
WAS at the time a guest at the Continental
Hotel, and one night awakened to find a thief
in the act of securing his watch from the bu-
Teau. The General lost no time, but jumping
from the bed and Selling his sabre held the
intruder at bay while calling loudly for a
'gendarme." The regular officer of the house
WAS sent up by the clerk, but as he was
not In full uniform NJ. Boulanger re-
fused to surrender his prisoner to
him. patrolman was sent for, and
upon his arrival the thief was delivered into
custody. He was escorted to headquarters.
given hearing, and immediately sent into
court. where, before noon, he had been tried
convicted and sentenced to five years IN the
Eastern penitenriary. NJ. BOnlanger was
astonished at the rapidity with which the
officials of America in cities dealt with their
criminal classes. He intended sailing for
home the day following the attempted theft.
but had concluded TO miss one steamer rather
than have the thief escape punishment, and
the promptness with which the fellow was
railroaded formed the subject Of a letter of
thanks to the Chief of Police from the Min
ister. The fellow served his full term, less
the usual Communication on account OF good
behavior while in prison.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1887-03-07

While suicides are frequent, it is not
often even in country as large as this
that three are reported on the same day.
On one day or this week three persons
died by their own hands. The first, Annie
Maria Barker, whose homs was in JeTfer-
sonyllle, Ind, killed herself because she
was disappointed in love, The second,
George Symonds, a carpenter, whose
home was in Omaha, Neb., killed himself
in tit OF dependency. The third, A. o.
Payne, travelling salesman, whose home
was IN Conneaut, o., killed himself on &C
count of financial trou bles.
The history Of suicides shows that they
are much more frequent in cities than in
the country. The victims, it is held, are
either sacrifices to bad habits, or are
driven TO madness by the bewildering
whirl OF city life. distinguished
physician, who has given much study to
the causes Of suicides, declares that the
larger number of tn EN- results from living
too fast. He does not mean too fast in
